This one wouldn’t let me go until I got it out. It hit me as soon as episode 114 ended, and I’ve worked on it in bits and pieces since. I wish I had the time to make it true to what’s in my head, but other projects demand my attention. A lot of artists have been doing fan art of that episode, which is a testament to how powerful it was as a whole.

But this part was what hit me hardest. I took a lot of liberties with combining IC and OOC stuff with my own personal take on it, but I hope it comes across as at least a fraction of how the moment hit me. These characters are amazing and I will deeply miss them, but it’s the players and GM that make everything special. I can’t wait to see what’s ahead, both the bitter and the sweet.

Oh, and as a note, I don’t ship Vax and Scanlan, though if you do that’s cool. But one thing I love about Vox Machina is the open, raw love they have for one another, both platonic and romantic, that makes them family. Their expressions of that (and especially the players’ affection outside the game) reflect something we all need more of, and I think that’s part of what makes it all so compelling. ❤

so. like. the au where they oneshotted all those ‘death knights” and charged past to Vecna, and then halfway through the fight, three black-armored figures troop through the doorway – can’t you just hear the cast all, “shit, more knights?” “Wait the ones on the stairs?” “Didn’t we kill these guys already?” “It’s Vecna. They’re probably undead. Pike, can you-”

And Vecna (Matt) just smiles, gestures, and the armored figures pull off their helmets. The first, shortest, a gnome with a pert nose and three dagger cuts in her armor, the third a slice through her throat that’s still bleeding sluggishly. (Sam, Scanlan, gasps; Liam looks queasy.) The second, a young human woman with dark hair with one white streak through it, two arrows through her chest and sharp grey eyes clouded over. (Laura’s face buried in her twin’s chest. Everyone shouting.) The last, a tall man still marked by the axe-gash across his chest, dark-haired and dark skin turned grey with death…

Vecna, smiling upon seeing them all in distress: Oh, I’m sorry. I thought you’d like to see your loved ones one last time before you join them in death.
